Anyone working with medical information quickly begins to hear about the need to maintain HIPAA practices for privacy and security to maintain the confidentiality of the medical information. When it comes to occupational health services, HIPAA is not the overriding regulation that governs the protection and disclosure of the occupational health record (OHR). Rather, a variety of other federal and state regulations govern the protection and disclosure of the OHR. HIPAA does come into play as a well-developed and accepted framework to maintain the privacy and security of the OHR. As such, HIPAA should be considered the “go-to” framework for the protection of the OHR.
